Day 11: Blue Friday, casual edition/WDD Postcard Exchange

Today my office was closed for Veterans Day so I did my Blue Friday a bit more dressed down this week. I also took the chance to show off my sweet Hartford Whalers t-shirt. BRING BACK THE WHALE!

I also received and sent my WDD postcard today! I'm sad mine will be a little late but I didn't connect that there was no mail service today. Oh well. Here's what I sent:

Here's what I received. Look at the awesome detail! I had a blast picking out all the D-paraphernalia hidden in the drawing.

My postcard buddy's one word was free, as in be free to live your life however you want and don't let diabetes stand in the way of that. Great message.

And, finally, my boyfriend bought this weird ski mask at TJ Maxx tonight. It's supposed to be Batman but ... ummm ... it's blue. I'm skeptical. But perhaps I will repurpose it as a WDD superhero

Day 4: Blue Friday 1

Blue is a common enough clothing color that I doubt anyone thought twice, seeing me in blue today. And I doubt the majority of the people I saw wearing blue today were doing it for Blue Friday. But every time I glanced down and saw my blue shirt, and thought of all of you, for a day, the diabetes burden felt a whole lot lighter.
